Consumption Emissions

From EPA (GHG equivalences)

Every kWh of energy you don't use is about 0.35 kg of CO2e not emitted (note that EPA lists avoided emissions as the equivalent of reducing emissions from coal. I think that is overestimateing the impact of reductions

Every therm of natural gas you don't use is about 5.3 kg CO2e not emitted.

Every gallon of gas you don't use is 9 kg of CO2e not emitted.
